April 29 marked the annual White House Correspondents Dinner. If you’re unfamiliar with what that is, it’s when an annual event that serves a roast of the President, popular culture, and the world as it is. It’s become famous for both its host monologues as well as the remarks made by the President himself.
Obama was especially noted for this WHCDs, once bringing out Keegan Michael-Key to play his “anger translator” while he made his speech. Many famous faces were in attendance last night, ranging from sports stars to the cast of Vanderpump Rules. While not in attendance, 50 Cent shared his feelings on part of the monologue delivered by The Daily Show host Roy Wood Jr.
50 Cent Declares “BMF” and “Power” Joke “Some Funny Shit”
A large portion of both Wood Jr. and Biden’s remarks revolved around the recent firing of long-time Fox host, Tucker Carlson. “Scandals have been devouring careers this year,” Wood Jr. begins in the clip shared by 50 Cent, “The untouchable Tucker Carlson is out of the job. [cheers and applause from the audience] Well, some people celebratin’. But to Tucker’s staff, I want you to know that I know what you’re feeling. I work at The Daily Show, so I too know what it’s like to be blindsided by the sudden departure of the host of the fake news program.”
“Tucker got caught up! He got caught up like that dude from Vanderpump Rules,” Wood Jr. continued, “Text message stuff. I don’t know what Vanderpump Rules is about, only watched it a couple times. My friends tell me it’s like BMF but for white people. Or is that Succession? No, Succession is Power but for white people. No! Tucker Carlson is power for white people. No, that’s white power, ya know never mind, don’t worry about that one. We gotta Tucker back on the air, Mister President. Right now there’s millions of Americans who don’t know why they hate you.” 50 Cent, who created BMF and Power declared it “some funny shit”. He also poked fun at the unflattering shot of President Biden the clip ends with. What did you think of the WHCD monologue?
